GRUB fixed

September 08, 2009 — BarryK
Thanks to the guys reporting back in the 4.3beta2 forum thread, the problem with GRUB is fixed.

The GRUB in 4.3beta2 is patched to recognise ext4, however something is wrong with it as many people were unable to boot.

So I grabbed GRUB 0.97 from Ubuntu, release "29ubuntu53", which, if my memory serves me correctly, has a patch for ext4. I made this into a PET package and posted it to the forum. Feedback is that it works!

So, 4.3beta3 will have 'grub-29ubuntu53.pet'.
